INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875017 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that can communicate with a terminal and includes a hardware key. It has a memory and at least one processor that can transmit information about a screen displayed on the apparatus's display unit to the terminal. It can receive operation information from the terminal, which includes coordinate information corresponding to a user's operation on the terminal's screen. The processor can convert this operation information into operation information corresponding to the hardware key and execute processing based on the converted operation information.

  • The information processing apparatus can communicate with a terminal and has a hardware key.
  • It can transmit information about a screen displayed on its own display unit to the terminal.
  • It can receive operation information from the terminal, which includes coordinate information.
  • The processor can convert the received operation information into operation information corresponding to the hardware key.
  • The converted operation information is used to execute processing.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various devices that require interaction with a terminal, such as smartphones, tablets, or computers.
  • It can enhance the user experience by allowing seamless interaction between the information processing apparatus and the terminal.

Problems Solved

  • This technology solves the problem of coordinating user operations on a terminal's screen with the hardware key of an information processing apparatus.
  • It simplifies the process of converting operation information from a terminal into operation information that can be executed by the hardware key.

Benefits

  • Users can easily control an information processing apparatus using the hardware key, even if the operation is performed on a terminal's screen.
  • It provides a more intuitive and efficient way of interacting with the information processing apparatus.
  • This technology eliminates the need for complex software-based solutions to synchronize user operations between the terminal and the information processing apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus configured to communicate with a terminal and including a hardware key includes a memory and at least one processor in communication with the memory. The at least one processor of the information processing apparatus is configured to perform transmitting, to the terminal, information about a screen corresponding to a screen displayed on a display unit included in the information processing apparatus, receiving, from the terminal, operation information including coordinate information, the operation information corresponding to a user operation received on the screen displayed on the terminal based on the transmitted information about the screen, converting the operation information into operation information corresponding to the hardware key based on the coordinate information included in the received operation information, and executing processing based on the converted operation information.
